"But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night." - 2 Peter 3:10Maria Grever, a Mexican-born composer, wrote more than one thousand songs, starting when she was four years old!
Her career began at age eighteen when she composed “A Una Ola,” which sold three million copies.
Her best-known song, “What a Difference a Day Makes,” was recorded by the likes of Dinah Washington, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Natalie Cole, Barry Manilow, and Tony Bennett.
Think about what a difference it will make when the day dawns for Christ’s return!
It could be tomorrow.
The Bible says His coming will be unexpected by multitudes of people.
Those of us who love Him will be amazed but not totally surprised.
When our hours are weary and our hearts are low, we should think about the difference that day will make.
When we’re sick and suffering, we should visualize His return.
When the arrow of disappointment cuts through us, we should console ourselves with contemplations on our everlasting life in heaven.
Jesus is coming again, and He will be victorious.
When you feel discouraged today, meditate on His soon and sudden return.
We are supposed to meditate on His return ….
You have no idea what good this does the soul until you give it a thorough try yourself.

Today's Turning Point with David Jeremiah
Turning Point for God was founded in 1982 as the broadcast ministry of Dr. David Jeremiah to deliver the unchanging Word of God to an ever-changing world. Over the years, the phenomenal growth of the English broadcast ministry has enabled David Jeremiah’s teaching to be translated into multiple languages, taking the ministry outreach beyond our borders. Today, Turning Point reaches every state in the U.S., covers six continents, and touches people around the globe with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

The Feast of Trumpets - many Christians will be caught unawares by the Rapture event because they’re not walking in light of biblical prophecies and because they do not understand the times concerning the restoration of Israel. The patterns of the Feasts of the LORD would help to ground believers biblically to understand the times. Christians should be familiar with the LORD’s Levitical Festivals. Jesus observed all of the Levitical Festivals. The Feast of Trumpets has increasingly become a high watch time for the appearing of Jesus in the clouds to collect his followers with the sound of the trumpet of God. The Feast of Trumpets is the only ambiguous date among the LORD’s seven appointed feasts due to the necessity of having to sight the new moon
In the Twinkling of an Eye - when Jesus descends with a shout, the dead in Christ rise first, then the living saints will be caught up to meet them in the air. We are assured of the rapture by the saving work of the Lord, which is the Gospel and by the Word of the Lord, which is Scripture. Though we don’t know the exact date when the rapture will occur, we know it is close and certain. It will happen “in the twinkling of an eye, at the sound of the last trump.” We will reunite with our fellow Christians who have died. After we are caught up in the air, the Bridegroom will take us, His Bride, to the place He has prepared for us
Streams in my desert: The Day Of The Lord - the day when Christ will come out of Heaven in His glorious Second Coming immediately after the seven-year Tribulation period, accompanied by great cosmic disturbances. When He does that, here will be all the rulers and armies of the nations of the world gathered together against Him under Antichrist and the false prophet. "... they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” And Jesus unleashes the wrath of God upon them and destroys them

"... they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.” And Jesus unleashes the wrath of God upon them and destroys them
Streams in my desert: It’s time to watch - we’re all commanded to watch and pray and to do it more and more as we see the end of the age drawing near. Read what Jesus said about the last days and find He actually talked as much about watching as He did about praying. Much of our prayer time should be spent watching in the spirit. Watching in the spirit is being sensitive to the stirrings and quickenings in your heart. It is paying attention to promptings of the Holy Spirit on the inside of you. The Day of the Lord is rapidly approaching
Streams in my desert: Jacob’s Trouble in End-Time Prophecy - this prophecy of unprecedented difficulty for Jacob’s descendants will be fulfilled just before the second coming of Jesus Christ. The reason for God’s punishment is found in His instructions to their ancestors millennia ago. World conditions will be worse than any time in history, and humanity will be on the brink of self-destruction. The time of Jacob’s trouble corresponds to the same time period called the Great Tribulation, which leads up to the Day of the Lord wip
Streams in my desert: As a Thief in the Night - Jesus promised us that the Day of the Lord would come suddenly, and this “thief in the night” cannot be stopped. There is no defense against the supernatural day of His coming. But unlike thieves in our world, Jesus will only take what is already His. Only those who disregard Jesus’ warning have any need to be concerned. Fear has no place for those who are prepared. As we heed Jesus’ warning, let us prepare ourselves for His coming, “looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God”
Streams in my desert: Feast of Trumpets - “the day or hour that no man knows” - believers suddenly disappear from the earth. Many Christians will be caught unawares by the Rapture event because they’re not walking in light of biblical prophecies and they do not understand the times concerning the restoration of Israel. The patterns of the Feasts of the LORD would help to ground believers biblically to understand the times. Christians should be familiar with the LORD’s Levitical Festivals. Jesus observed all of these festivals
